Perfect for gifting, these mitts offer four sizes to fit a wide range of hands.

This pattern assumes knowledge of working in the round, increasing, and decreasing. Both charts and written directions are provided for all six stitch patterns. See last photo for included stitch pattern options.

Fingering Weight
Needles: US 1 / 2.25 mm (Ribbing), US 1.5 / 2.5 mm (Main)
Gauge: 26 sts and 44 rounds = 4” / 10 cm

Sample shown in Knitting for Olive Merino held with Untold Pure Silk Mohair, worked in Texture 1.
Note: If you are using a lighter fingering weight yarn held alone, you may find it challenging to achieve gauge. If your gauge is tighter and you feel that the fabric would be too loose at the recommended gauge, consider knitting one size up to accommodate for this difference.

Gauge: 19 sts and 34 rounds = 4” / 10 cm
